Stew, pork, with pasta calories: 339 per 1 cup (255 g)

This exact USDA record reports 339 calories for 1 cup (255 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 339 calories for 1 cup at 255 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 133 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 23.8 g protein, 2.8 g fiber, and 755 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, fresh, shoulder, (boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised, representing 29.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706520: “Stew, pork, with pasta.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2706520, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706520’s 255 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin A165.8 µg

≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Iron2 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Stew, pork, with pasta,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706519 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 255 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 191.3–318.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 254 kcal and 424 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706519

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.5 g more carbohydrate than “Stew, pork.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised

    The source formulation has 5 input rows; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised supplies 29.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “pork; with pasta” fits. Inspect FDC 2706519 when “pork” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 24 more calories, 1 g more protein, and 4.5 g more carbohydrate than “Stew, pork.”

Only this record lists Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.

Shared listed inputs: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Salt, table; Vegetables as ingredient in stews; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised.

Listed only in this record: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706520 with FDC 2706519 at equal mass; use their 255 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706520 versus FDC 2706519 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.

For “Stew, pork, with pasta,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    amount served

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    recipe and ingredient ratios

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    added cooking fat

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  4. 04

    sauces and toppings

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2706520 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 133 kcal per 100 g becomes 339 kcal at 255 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 cup has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706520

FNDDS food code: 27221170

The scaling for FDC 2706520 can be exact while the match to “Stew, pork, with pasta” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 255 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
